Abstract: The invention relates to a glow plug for Diesel engines, comprising a housing, a heater rod, which is movable in the housing in axial direction and projects from the housing at a forward end, and a pressure measuring device for measuring a combustion chamber pressure exerted on the heater rod. It is provided according to the invention that a housing chamber is filled with a substance having or achieving liquid to paste-like consistency at temperatures occurring during operation and conducting heat generated by the heater rod to the housing.

Abstract: Composite conductor comprising a metallic conductor and a ceramic conductor or non-conductor, at least one of them being elongate, the two being connected with each other in an electrically conductive manner. The ceramic conductor or non-conductor and the metallic conductor are hard-soldered to each other by a contact surface extending obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the at least one elongate conductor, and has one of the conductors tapers at its end and the other conductor has a matching tapering recess. The tapering end of the conductor is fitted into the tapering recess.

Abstract: A flexible adsorbent body comprising, a thermoplastic polymer matrix and a porous adsorbing material, wherein said body possesses a flexural module of elasticity at 23° C. greater than about 10 MPa.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and process for controlling automatic baking in a retail store In on embodiment, the baking apparatus includes an oven, an infeed device for feeding in dough slabs and a transport mechanism for transporting the dough slabs from the infeed device through the interior of the oven to a delivery station at which the ready-baked goods are made available to customers. Further, the apparatus includes a data processing unit that: records the quantity of baked goods made available, receives by way of a data network from the retail store's point-of-sale system the number of baked goods sold, and prompts the baking apparatus to start up the baking process on the basis of a comparison of those two values. In one aspect, the present invention provides for control of the level for the delivery station together with devices present in the retail store.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adsorbing material which comprises at least one porous functional solid, e.g. a zeolite, incorporated in a polymer matrix. The adsorbing material contains the porous functional solid in an amount of 45 to 80 wt. %. The polymer matrix comprises at least one organic polymer, particularly selected from thermoplastics, and has a secondary pore volume in addition to the primary pore volume of the porous functional solid. Further, the present invention is directed to a shaped article, which comprises or consists of the afore-mentioned adsorbing material, to a method for its preparation and to its use. The present invention is finally conerned with the use of specific rheological additives, in particular waxy components, which function as pore-forming agents in the preparation of shaped articles.

Abstract: The core/jacket catalyst molding with a core made from an inorganic support material and with a jacket made from a catalytically active material can be prepared by coextruding an aqueous molding composition which comprises the support material or a precursor thereof, with an aqueous molding composition which comprises the catalytically active material or a precursor thereof, then drying the coextrudate, and then calcining the dried coextrudate.
